I don’t usually see felt things that I think are irresistable, but these are awesome! I really want to make that sachet! Nice blog, I read all the time!

Hi there! I love the tapestry frams used for this (and soulemamma does some beautiful ones too) – but have actually been looking for felted wool for ages – and can only seem to find crafting felt, which is acrylic, and in precut squares. Do you know where to get felted wool? I found a website in the UK – but wow – the prices!

Deanna, try http://www.purlsoho.com. They stock a lovely range of wool felt in beautiful colours, available via mail order in the US. It’s still not cheap though. The cheapest way to get hold of wool felt is to find old woollen sweaters in thrift stores and boilwash them yourself.
